The PS2 wasn't for everyone. I had a PS2, but no GC or Xbox. Now I own an Xbox 360 but no Wii or Ps3. The reason why the PS2 had such great sales was that the fact that it was the only great console on the market. The Gamecube wasn't that great. The original Xbox looked like a tank (and was built like one too) and nobody liked the look of it or couldn't trust a new company in the gaming market.

The proof lies everywhere. The PS2 had casual and hardcore gamers. Now the Wii has the casual players (Xbox has some because of Kinect). The PS3 and the Xbox 360 are pretty much even when it comes to the hardcore gamers.
